Trash is Nice

Trash is Nice is a local recycling center located in Treellion Park, on Koh Pich in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. As proud members of the global Precious Plastic community, we are dedicated to transforming the way we see and recycle plastic. Our mission is to give plastic waste a new purpose by creating valuable and practical items from it. By collecting plastic from various sources such as individuals, restaurants, cafes, and companies, we prevent it from ending up in the environment. Through our recycling process, we aim to showcase the power of recycling and handcrafting, highlighting the value of recycling plastic and sharing sustainable practices. In addition to our recycling efforts, we are committed to raising awareness and educating the community about the importance of changing our mindset to face plastic pollution and showcase plastic recycling and environmental sustainability. We offer engaging workshops for schools and community groups at our facility, where participants can learn about the plastic lifecycle, our recycling process, and even create their own items using soft plastic waste. By inviting schools and groups to join us in our initiatives, we seek to make our cause more accessible and inspire environmentally conscious individuals to take action. Plastic should be viewed as a valuable resource, not a disposable material that ends up polluting our planet for centuries. Remember, the best waste is the one we don't produce in the first place.
